Discussion: Session I

Background: Bacterial meningitis remains a source of substantial morbidity and mortality in childhood. During the last decades gradual changes have been observed in the epidemiology of bacterial meningitis, related to the introduction of new polysaccharide and conjugate vaccines. The study presents an overview of the epidemiological patterns of acute bacterial meningitis in a tertiary children ...

Session III Discussion Notes

This paper presents a preliminary investigation of a new interesting method to build easy to use and representative workloads to evaluate file-systems. The basic principle is to instrument a file-system, with the aid of domain knowledge, to breakdown workloads into micro-functions; then a subset of micro-functions are selected as predictors of a particular type of workload function; and finally...

Discussion: Session V

Background. The absolute quantification of intracellular protein levels is technically demanding, but has recently become more prominent because novel approaches like systems biology and metabolic control analysis require knowledge of these parameters. Current protocols for the extraction of proteins from yeast cells are likely to introduce artifacts into quantification procedures because of in...
